Fake versions of Flappy Bird have managed to trick Android users into installing them, hitting them in the wallet.

An app called InstLike promised free likes and followers on Instagram, but asked users to provide their usernames and passwords, turning them into a botnet.
Moreover, a user would get 20 free Likes if he used the hashtag #instlike_com in his own photo captions. A search on Instagram reveals that more than 500,000 photos already contain that hashtag.
All these features made InstLike a sophisticated ecosystem that employed thousands of voluntary "zombie" accounts — but it depended on their naiveté and willingness to give up their passwords.
For Narang, who is experienced in the realm of social media-based scams, the sheer volume of people involved is scary.
